how many cameras can I break?

S95: Cracked screen (still works, but I am very gentle with it now).

NX200: Cracked the screen (HARD drop).  camera died 1 month after event.

now, EX2F: Cracked auto lens cap.  Screen was in "protected" configuration when I dropped the camera!

Moral of the story:  the articulating screen on EX2F is VERY useful for protecting the screen!

I wonder why there are no small form factor ILCs with fully articulating screens (other than NX20/NX30 and panasonic G5/G6).  e.g. A6000, OM-D, X-T1, GX-7 etc. would all have had space for a fully articulating rear screen without making the cameras too much bigger.  Maybe I'm the only one who drops my cameras all the time :/

And my NX300 is already scratched despite being relatively careful with it.
